Finding your passion in life leads to success, according to David Lyall.
He was lucky to discover his passion early in life–maybe it was also in his genes–as he grew up in his family's furniture business. For close to 40 years, his parents, and then Lyall, owned and operated Buck Home Furnishings, which recently evolved into David Lyall Home & Design. Along with the transformation came a change in location, from bucolic Buck to trendy downtown Lancaster.
The new name and location better reflect the direction of Lyall’s business. “Our client base and their needs were changing,” says Lyall. “There is also a developing art scene with a creative vibe in downtown Lancaster. Our new location breeds creativity...It’s the fruition of a dream.”
Lyall says he and his talented team enjoy developing relationships with their clients throughout Central Pennsylvania and beyond. “Some are just replacing a sofa; others have their sights set on revamping an entire home—creative, functional, beautiful spaces are what we do,” he explains.
In a renovated 1800s warehouse amongst 8,000 square feet of inspirational room settings, David Lyall Home & Designs team of five professional interior designers create personalized spaces tailored to clients’ needs. “We learn about our clients’ goals for their space and find out what reflects their personality. Then we design an interior that’s truly customized,” says Lyall.
Each of Lyall’s design team members, plus Lyall himself, have achieved various levels of membership in either the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) or Interior Design Society (IDS). Lyall refers to Design Coordinator Megan Donnelly and Interior Designer Zack Snavely as his “right and left arms. ”While residential projects are the mainstay of the business, Lyall also enjoys working with commercial clients including real estate offices, medical offices, and most recently Lancaster’s 26 East complex housing Barberet Bistro and Bakery and Altana Rooftop Lounge.
Lyall is passionate about the new business name. “I want to project the feeling of inclusiveness,” he says. Everyone can relate to the words “home and design.” “Over and over again we hear from clients who say their new interior has brought their family closer together...They want to spend more time in their home. And that’s the most rewarding part...the true mark of success,” says Lyall.
